Na noite de ontem (26/10/2011), o clipe-montagem System of a Dilma alcançou os trending topics do Twitter. O vídeo mistura o clipe Chop Suey da banda armeno-americana System of a Down e um discurso de Dilma e Lula às vésperas das eleições presidenciais de 2010. Não sei se a intenção dos autores: FAROFF e Xandelay @djfaroff @xandelay foi apenas humor ou se eles quiseram fazer uma homenagem, mas o fato é que o vídeo ficou muito bem feito e foram escolhidas frases bem bonitas do discurso. Posto abaixo o video-montagem, o clipe Chop Suey original e por fim um dos meus clipes preferidos dessa banda: BOOM! em que aparecem cenas dos protestos mundiais contra a guerra do Iraque.

"In the 3¼ centuries between 1492 and about 1820, four enslaved Africans left the Old World for every European. During those years, Africans comprised the largest forced oceanic migration in the history of the world. Who were they? Who organized the slaving voyages? Which parts of Africa did they come from? How did they reach the Americas? And where exactly did they go?"
